But rather supplementary rule sets of which various different versions have appeared from different publishers. The nautical rules are a good example, and could probably make up a book all by themselves. "The Ultimate Nautical rulebook" or somesuch. All crunch, no fluff. Do some serious playtesting and/or polling to figure out which rules work best for which problem (e.g. for assigning ship stats, or for ship-to-ship combat) and collect them all in one place, with some attribution of which book they came from. If you want, you could have some alternate rules in sidebars as well. Steampunk and creation of inventions is another area where we have several different sources out right now (with Steam&Steel - hopefully - coming out soon as well). Heck, Mongoose alone has <a href="http://www.mortality.net/board/read.php?TID=6781" target="_blank">at least three different rules for creating constructs</a> (in Quintessential Gnome, Powerclasses: Artificer and Enchanted Arcana: Constructs).</blockquote>
